Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostI've listened to this [Enescu Octet] about a dozen times since I got it last Thursday. It's a kind of a cross between Schubert, (gorgeously lyrical), and Schoenberg, (gorgeously chromatic!). The playing is absolutely phenomenal and it's matched by a superb recording.

I notice that folks are not posting album covers here. Is it that the site admin prefers we don't? I like to because it is an easy way to show what I am listening to and it is fun looking at the covers of what others are listening to. So, assuming for now that it is okay, here is today's listening:

Originally posted by Stanfordian View PostAs I have mentioned before on these pages in my view the Enescu Octet is a great work that I enjoy more now than Mendelssohn's Octet; which I guess I've probably heard too often. Some years ago now at Lake District Summer Music at Kendal I greatly enjoyed attending a festival performance of the work. I also enjoy his Wind Decet.

Bernstein: the new Pappano set of symphonies and PF&R
Oh dear! As commented elsewhere, the mezzo in Jeremiah is very upfront (and not to my liking); Rana in Age of Anxiety is exciting, but I prefer the new Rattle recording with Zimerman; Dame Josephine is indeed a star in Kaddish, but it's a piece I still struggle with (it's that old 'pieces with narration' bugbear). Just into the riffs now.Don’t cry for me

Stravinsky: Piano works (solo and concertante)
Michel Béroff/Orchestre de Paris/Ozawa (EMI 2CD set)
Still a bit tempted by the Osborne/BBCSSO/Volkov concertante works on Hyperion.
Anyone got it?
